Wow. (And I mean that as unenthusiastically as possible.) The weeding out episodes are just unbearable, aren't they? Can they please just hurry up and send the girls on the requisite "As a model, you have to be ready to travel at any time" trip? At least then something would be actually happening, and we wouldn't have to float along for an hour listening to people strain to find something concrete to say about something intangible, like, say, modeling. Because if we as an audience have to start listening to and digesting the nonsensical critiques the judges, and coaches, and Tyson Beckfords spew every episode, we're all going to tumble headfirst down a never-ending spiral of stupidity. When this show starts being about the skill of modeling, we're doomed.
Case in point: Mr. Jay about Ebony at the You Are A Recyclable photo shoot, "She literally looked trampish." So she actually physically resembled someone who kind of looks like a hobo or a prostitute? I think he meant that she literally looked like a tramp. But isn't that the look they were going for, though?
But when Mr. Jay is cornered, or in front of a camera, he has a tendency to over-explain. He piles words on top of words till it's just like watching adjective bacteria multiply in a petri dish. His similes were off the entire episode (and, really, for the entirety of the ANTM series) as well. He said of Real-Size Sarah, who was wearing a garbage bag dress, "You look like a heap of garbage!" Good one, Mr. Jay. That's like shouting "You look like the thing we are forcing you to embody!" Or simply, "You look like you!" That's not a comparison, it's an equation.
Seriously, I can't take another episode like this one. I refuse to analyze Mr. Jay's advice because it's the only marginally interesting thing in the episode again. The most exciting things that happened (before Ebony quit) were that Mary J. Blige art directed a spray tan on Heather, Bianca practiced the fine art of "squinty but wide" eyes, and all the girls ate dinner in a closet.
